Information
PINK FLOYD
PINK FLOYD AT POMPEII (2LP, REMASTERED) MCMLXXII (2025 MIX BY STEVEN WILSON)		 cover
Columbia
Floyd fans have been daydreaming about a legit release of this soundtrack for over 50 years & it was worth the wait. This was remixed by the Floyd obsessive Steven Wilson & the result is just as magical as the remastered film. The band were at the top of their improvisational game here & knowing that they were on their way to making Dark Side...makes this even more mythic. STUNNING.
Available at: All Stores
New LP $39.99
PRITCHARD, MARK & THOM YORKE
TALL TALES (2LP) 		cover
Warp
Thom Yorke & the electronic musician Mark Pritchard have teamed up for this dark & interesting 2025 album "Tall Tales." Unlike Yorke's recent experimental rock project with Jonny Greenwood in THE SMILE, "Tall Tales" is a fully electronic project. This is a record that it seems like Yorke has been hinting at for years & he's finally done it. There's a menacing quality to the songs & the songs are really allowed to stretch out & breathe. Fans of Thom's more electronic side will really dig this.

New LP $32.99
STEWART, MACIE
WHEN THE DISTANCE IS BLUE 		cover
International Anthem
Technically speaking, this is the second solo LP for vocalist & multi-instrumentalist MACIE STEWART, who along with her work in HOMME/OHMME/FINOM has been a frequent collaborator on many recent Int'l Anthem releases. "When the Distance is Blue" eschews the pop songwriting framework of her prior solo affair, casting STEWART as more of a bandleader guiding the listener through an eight-part song cycle that hits on third stream improvisation, ambient drone and electro-acoustic experimentation. The result is both fantastically adventurous and spiritually enriching, so of course this comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Available at: Milwaukee Ave and Loop
New LP $23.99
CIRCUIT DES YEUX
HALO ON THE INSIDE 		cover
Matador
2025 record from Reckless favorite CIRCUIT DES YEUX sees the Chicago-based singer/composer get darker. Drawing from 80s synth-pop and 90s industrial to pair with her unmistakable contralto voice, "Halo on the Inside" lands somewhere within a zone near NINE INCH NAILS, BJORK, ANOHNI & THE JOHNSONS, MINISTRY and the Zion rave scene from The Matrix Reloaded. Of course, you KNOW this one comes R E C O M M E N D E D

New LP $18.99
HORSEGIRL
PHONETICS ON & ON (CLEAR VINYL) (INDIE EXCLUSIVE EDITION)		 cover
Matador
We've been eagerly awaiting the return of new music from HORSEGIRL ever since they dropped "Versions of Modern Performance" on our heads. The wait was well worth it; "Phonetics On & On" develops the trio's classic DIY indie sound by digging further into 90s Flying Nun-esque earworm hook-craft (a la THE CLEAN or THE BATS) while approaching the more noisey post punk elements with a dance-y sensibility. Produced by CATE LE BON, this record obviously comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

New LP $28.99
CINDY LEE
DIAMOND JUBILEE (3LP w/ POSTER) 		cover
W. 25
Thinking back to more innocent times when Diamond Jubilee was released into the world online back in April 2024. You could still discover great new music like this on Twitter. Imagine that! Now it's finally here on LP & CD & we're so incredibly glad to be have this in our racks. A truly timeless group of tunes in over 2 hours on 3LP or 2CD. With nods of 60s psych, soft rock & garage, shambolic lo-fi 90s sounds, this record is absolutey PACKED with great ideas. This is one of those records that people will be talking about many years from now it's that good. RECOMMENDED OF COURSE.

New LP $54.99
MOHR, KATHRYN
WAITING ROOM (WHITE VINYL) 		cover
Flenser
2025 album by the Oakland artist Kathryn Mohr. Intimate bedroom style recordings mixed with field recordings & some heavy processing on some tracks. Lo-fi & sort of shambolic like early Xpressway Records & Siltbreeze releases with some hints at contemporaries like labelmate MIDWIFE, GROUPER etc...
Available at: Loop
New LP $22.99
LOCKS, DAMON
LIST OF DEMANDS 		cover
International Anthem
Friend of Reckless / International Anthem staple DAMON LOCKS releases his first ever album of spoken word and text-based music, landing in a middle zone between LAST POETS / GIL SCOTT-HERON jazz poetry & DOOM-esque vocal gymnastics, all centered on the themes of Black liberation. Featuring contributions from local luminaries like MACIE STEWART, BEN LAMAR GAY and KRISTA FRANKLIN, this one comes obviously VERY RECOMMENDED.
Available at: Milwaukee Ave and Loop
New LP $23.99
MOIN
YOU NEVER END (IMPORT) 		cover
AD93
MOIN is a London based group & this is their third album. Featuring the VERY BUSY Valentina Magaletti on drums, the group's sound is a mix of 90s indie rock & slowcore ala SLINT, MOGWAI, CODEINE, GASTR DEL SOL etc...with a more contemporary drum style & recording with vocals contributed by a variety of singers. We love this one!
Available at: Belmont
New LP $24.99
DEAL, KIM
NOBODY LOVES YOU MORE (ORANGE VINYL) (INDIE EXCLUSIVE EDITION)		 cover
4AD
We honestly couldn't be more excited for this solo KIM DEAL debut, many years in the making and following THE BREEDERS' 2018 return - as well as their tour support of OLIVIA RODRIGO - both of which thrust DEAL and her bandmates back into the public eye. Some of the oldest recordings here stretch back to 2011, as well as a lot of recordings with STEVE ALBINI at Electrical Audio in 2022. "Nobody Loves You More" is an arresting combo of chamber pop, heartfelt balladry & dub experimentation, all tied together by DEAL's recognizable voice (which doesn't appear to have changed a bit). Featuring help from BREEDERS bandmates KELLEY DEAL and JIM MacPHERSON among others, this comes OBVIOUSLY RECOMMENDED!
